Quick Quotes

Q. Made the cut, four rounds here, how would you assess the week overall at the Valspar?

LUKE CLANTON: It was good. This weekend was a lot of fun. It was pretty boring golf, which everyone loves and just a couple putts didn't go my way. But again it was, Jason on the bag was amazing with the whole team here and I probably my last start as an amateur, which we don't know yet, we're going to see when it comes to the end of the school year, but it's been one heck of a journey.

Q. Did it feel a little less pressure than the last couple tour starts?

LUKE CLANTON: I really wanted to be in contention, for sure. But again, every week is kind of the same, unless it's a major, it's just you go out there and play the best you can. Out here it's difficult no matter where you are and from coming from Cognizant to here, two tough golf courses so I think I did pretty good.

Q. Could you describe your next 18 hours and what you got ahead?

LUKE CLANTON: I got to drive down to Floridian and tomorrow morning play 36 holes with FSU, so I'm excited to do that. I've been wanting to play that tournament forever and I knew this week was going to kind of interfere, but I wanted to play, so I'm excited.

Q. How do you game plan for that course?

LUKE CLANTON: Well, we were joking around saying this is kind of a practice round Sunday, but again, it's that golf course is hard, so you just go out there, play the best you can. I played it a couple times, so we'll go out there try to do the best we can.

Q. Good memories from last year?

LUKE CLANTON: A couple. (Laughing).

Q. What do you do on the drive down?

LUKE CLANTON: Probably going to knock out. I need some sleep. So it will be good. We got early wake up tomorrow. I don't know what my tee time is so we're going to figure that out.
